I AM dismayed by George Osborne’s multiple roles and salaries.
He got £800,000 for 15 speaking engagements in a year, £120,212 for a Kissinger Fellowship and a £650,000 salary from BlackRock.
He now proposes to do all these jobs on top of his MP’s responsibilities and salary of £75,000, launch the Northern Powerhouse (from the Standard newsroom?) write a book and become editor of the Evening Standard. Osborne says his ‘only interest’ is ‘to give a voice to all Londoners’. What a joke.
